The death of Soaring Sky City's Vice City Lord Xue Ao infuriated the Law Master of the city and challenged the Abandoned Sword Villa to a battle.
This news immediately spread throughout the entire Feilan Province.
When True Monarch Qiu of Moon Worshipping Cave received the news, he immediately went to report it to his father. He couldn't hide his complacency. "Father, this is good. That bastard Shen Zhenyi finally met his match!"
That old man, Law Master Ren, spent all his time in the Northwest Gobi practicing his 《Strategy of Heavenly Generals》. Moon Worshipping Cave's overall strength was much stronger than Soaring Sky City's, but they didn't dare to provoke Soaring Sky City.
This was because of Law Master Ren's ability.
Not only had his martial cultivation reached the Fourth Stage of the Perfected Person Realm and could be considered a first-rate expert in Feilan Province, but more importantly, he was proficient in formations. The formations he created were invincible in Soaring Sky City.
If Shen Zhenyi really went crazy and accepted the challenge from Soaring Sky City, he would be courting death!
Qiu Yinxuan listened to his son's detailed explanation and couldn't help but laugh. "The heavens are really helping me! Originally, this Shen Zhenyi was unfathomable, and we couldn't figure out his background. Yun Ni also didn't send back any valuable reports. I don't know how to deal with him after seven years. Now that he's provoked Law Master Ren, as long as he dies, the Abandoned Sword Villa will be leaderless. Lord Zi Ningjun's inheritance will definitely be ours! "
Even he himself wouldn't be able to escape alive if he fell into the Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass of Soaring Sky City. Shen Zhenyi wouldn't have a chance to escape either!
True Monarch Qiu was somewhat worried. He gritted his teeth and said, "What if this kid is a coward and refuses to go to his death?"
Qiu Yinxuan sneered. "Can we let him do as he wishes? This time, he provoked Soaring Sky City himself. Even the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue can't stop him. If he doesn't give Soaring Sky City an explanation, Law Master Ren will dare to attack the Abandoned Sword Villa with his thousands of mounted bandits. At that time, we'll take action together and fish in troubled waters. We'll definitely get something. "
In his opinion, Shen Zhenyi was young and full of vigor. He definitely wouldn't be willing to drag down the entire mountain villa by himself.
If he were to go to Skysoaring City, even if he were to die, the protection provided by the World of Eight Cultivators would still be effective, and the Abandoned Sword Villa would be able to survive for another seven years. At the end of the ten years, they would either join other factions or break up. In any case, there was still hope for survival.
However, if he were to hide in the manor, he would definitely be attacked by Soaring Sky City. As he was the one who killed the Deputy City Lord of Soaring Sky City, Soaring Sky City had the right to seek revenge. As such, it would be difficult for him to fight against so many enemies. Under the attack of Soaring Sky City's armored cavalry, he would definitely be destroyed. When the nest was overturned, no egg would be left intact.
If that was the case, he might as well send himself to his death.
True Lord Qiu thought about it and agreed. "This person is too arrogant. He deserves to die!"
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Abandoned Sword Villa was gloomy and miserable.
Even if they didn't know how terrifying Dharma Master Ren was in Soaring Sky City's Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass, they were able to understand a thing or two from the narration of others.
Defu pounded his chest and stamped his feet, "My young master! I told you not to provoke Soaring Sky City. Why did you get into such a big trouble? In Feilan Province, no one can break through the Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass. If you accept this challenge, you will be sending yourself to your death! If you don't … "
He shuddered and didn't dare to imagine the terrible consequences.
The Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass was created by Dharma Master Ren according to the military strategy of the Heavenly Generals. He trained a group of tyrannical soldiers and borrowed the power of heaven and earth to create a strange formation. A hundred martial artists formed a great formation at the same time, gathering the strength of a hundred people.
It was said that the Dragon Emperor Palace once wanted to take over Soaring Sky City. However, after King Dalong Of Zhao saw the Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass, he felt that he couldn't break it. Thus, the two factions were at peace.
In addition to the Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass, Dharma Master Ren also had three thousand black cavalrymen, who were invincible. The Abandoned Sword Villa was just established in the World of Eight Cultivators. All kinds of formations, walls, and defenses had not been built yet. If it was attacked by the three thousand black cavalrymen, it would be destroyed in an instant.
Dharma Master Ren used this to threaten Shen Zhenyi, asking him to go to Soaring Sky City and give an explanation.
How could Shen Zhenyi not go?
Shen Shou gritted his teeth. He couldn't bear to leave his son. He shook his head and said, "No matter what, I can't let Third Brother bear this alone. At most, I will go to Soaring Sky City and ask for punishment from the City Lord. Take my life as an apology!"
"Old Villa Master, you can't!" Someone immediately exclaimed and advised.
De Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Old Master, don't make trouble. Dharma Master Ren specifically asked for the Third Young Master Shen. Even if you go, it will be useless."
The Abandoned Sword Villa was now in a dilemma.
If Shen Zhenyi didn't go, the new Abandoned Sword Villa wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of Soaring Sky City's cavalrymen.
If Shen Zhenyi went, the Abandoned Sword Villa, which had lost its backbone, could only linger on for a few years.
Either way, it would be a dead end.
Many people were upset. They never thought that the World of Eight Cultivators was such a dangerous place.
Below, there were mournful cries. Shen Zhenyi sat indifferently in the Dream Sword Villa. He didn't go out these days, not because he was afraid of the challenge from Soaring Sky City, but because he was refining the sword in peace.
Yun Ni and Cynanchum Chinense stayed by his side, watching him throw all kinds of materials into the iron furnace and temper them casually. He didn't seem to use much strength, but the sword embryo gradually took shape.
Shen Zhenyi forged a short sword that was seven inches long. The body of the sword was narrow, similar to Cynanchum Chinense's height.
He carefully hammered the sword, making sure to temper it thoroughly.
Yun Ni couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, now that Soaring Sky City is provoking us, what do you plan to do?"
She needed to know Shen Zhenyi's attitude as soon as possible so that she could report back to Moon Worshipping Cave.
Shen Zhenyi glanced at him indifferently, but didn't stop his work.
"It's a small matter. Wait until I finish refining this sword for Huo Luo."
A small matter?
Yun Ni rolled her eyes. The dignified Law Master of Soaring Sky City is using the Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass to challenge you, and this is considered a small matter? Then what is considered a big matter to you? Is it the Nine Zen Heavenly Battle Arena?
Cynanchum Chinense was both happy and worried. She was happy that her master still wanted to help her refine the sword at such a time, but she was worried that her master was facing a difficult situation.
She couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you have confidence in dealing with the Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass?"
"Me?"
Shen Zhenyi raised his head and smiled. "Who said I'm going to deal with the Hundred Gates Heavenly Pass? After the sword is refined, you can help me break this ordinary formation! "
